Despite not having worked out an arrangement with her guitarist beforehand, she played it, and they nailed it! < I will testify to the fact that Dave McKay did indeed request that song beforehand and that Lucika indeed nailed it onstage. She was smiling so broadly throughout the song I'm surprised words could even squeeze out of her mouth.....Say, it's not really about swimming, is it?

Meg is in a band called Trainwreck. Trainwreck will be opening for Rambling Jack Ellliot in a free outdoor concert at the Harry Chapin Rainbow Stage in Heckscher Park (Route 25A and Prime Avenue), Huntington, Long Island on Saturday, July 29th at 8:30 P.M. They did a live concert on WFUV earlier this year for a fundraiser and it was fun to listen to. In the flyer from the Folk Music Society of Huntington (who losted a Lucy concert in 1999) Trainwreck is described in this way: "Trainwreck is a name supposedly describing the dubious talent of this group as-was when it was a bunch of enthusiastic open-mikers. Times, and the group have both changed, and under the aegis of WFUV's Meg Griffin they will provide a delightful start to a wonderful evening! Anyone wanting 2 (free) tickets to Edie Brickell & New Bohemians at the Vanderbilt in Plainview, L.I. for Sat the 29th let me know.

Once again, I have failed in writing down a set list as the evening went along, but I've managed to piece together what I remember. I know Lucy started out with "House, Not a Home," the bluegrass gospel song she likes to sing by the Lubin Brothers, and I think she ended her solo set with The Tide (a request) which was a very beautiful rendition, kind of inverted. Where you expected her to head down the scale, she went up. I loved it!! In between and along the way were: Ten-Year Night End of the Day One Good Reason Turn the Lights Back On Just You Tonight (on the piano) Speaking with the Angel Scorpion The Movie Song From time to time, she also had Cliff on up, and together they sang Memphis and By Way of Sorrow, along with some others that I believe I'm blanking on. Oh yes, Lucy also did a version of Cliff's Driving, with some gender modification (mainly, using 30W for hand cream instead of as hair gel). I've been debating whether she sang Five in the Morning and Somebody's Home, but I think I may have just been listening to those in the car....I'm not convinced she sang them tonight. She mentioned her upcoming spot on CBS Thursday, commenting on Survivor, and said she hoped that she wouldn't mutter some obscenity on air. There were none of dad's songs tonight. Lucy also joined Cliff for parts of his set, and I'm falling in love with her harmonies! The two were having so much fun together, and Cliff had me laughing so hard it was triggering an asthma attack (I've been riddled with bronchitis this week)! He had some classic Cheryl Wheeler stories, and told us that he had dubbed the Cry^3 tour the "Born to be Mild" tour. This was the first time I had ever seen Cliff, and I thought he was wonderful (even though a bootleg CD he sold me is defective and doesn't work :-) !! This was a wonderful ending to a rather uninspired week....I was unable to attend FRFF because I had bronchitis, and then a Nields show I was supposed to merch at was rained out. Lucy MORE than made up for any of these disappointments, though, and she seemed to be having a wonderful time. The room was wonderful, though the crowd was a little subdued (this was like a five-star restaurant, so it had a somewhat refined atmosphere). But, as I said before, it was a very intimate room, and was just a magical evening. Off to bed now.....
